You might even want a CPA who can handle it all, tax planning, bookkeeping guidance, and strategic advice, so you’re set up for growth and efficiency as your portfolio expands.Here are 3 things I’d look for when interviewing CPAs for a real estate portfolio like yours:Real Estate Expertise: Experience with both long-term and short-term rentals, understanding of deductions, deferrals, and strategies to save on taxes.Proactive Guidance: Someone who actively looks for ways to optimize your portfolio and keeps you ahead of tax law changes.Communication Style: They should explain things clearly, answer your questions, and work in a way that fits your style, virtual meetings, email, calls, etc.Once you narrow it down, you’ll have a much clearer picture of who can help you save the most and grow your portfolio efficiently.
